    While I do believe it’s a lovely image, and I do like the flowers, I have to agree with Nick on this. As Nick stated, an FP of a lorikeet should depict the animals behaviors in an eye-catching way, this photo does not, therefore reluctant oppose. 🐱FatCat96🐱 Chat with Cat 06:34, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Depicting animals behaviours? Have you looked at FPs of Australian birds? What sort of behaviour are you looking for. THis comment makes zero sense. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:10, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    My comment makes perfect sense. Lorikeets are very playful, comical, photogenic, and friendly birds, and I think an FP of a lorikeet should depict that. I also don't like how the flowers obscure the feet of the bird. 🐱FatCat96🐱 Chat with Cat 06:08, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
FatCat96 Please strike out the duplicate !vote for clarity. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 16:42, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Unremarkable photo of an extremely common Australian bird with no fear at all of humans. A FP of a Rainbow lorikeet should be much more eye-catching than this and/or better depict their behaviours. Note that there are a vast number of photos of these very photogenic and friendly birds at Commons. Nick-D (talk) 09:25, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please tell us which of the hundreds of images of this bird that you think are better than this image. I couldn't find one. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:16, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure what you're hoping to achieve with responses like this. Nick-D (talk) 10:09, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • What I'm hoping to achieve? I'm trying to get you to justify your oppose vote. This request has been ignored. If you cannot justify your vote, or refuse to - in this case by indicating which of the many competing images you prefer - then you vote could be considered disruptive. So please respond.

  • FP voters don't need to nominate better images when they post an oppose vote. This image does not meet the FP standards as it is not a good photo of these incredibly common and easy to photograph birds (wild lorrikeets will happily sit on your hand if you offer them food, for instance). Nick-D (talk) 03:00, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All objections should be accompanied by a specific rationale that, if addressed, would make you support the image. (Per FPC guidelines) Sorry, but it's not a good photo is such a carpet term, providing no rationale whatsoever, far from specificity. Charles is a veteran FP nominator/creator and I'm pretty sure they won't pick a random picture for nomination. Plus your rationale sounds very close to IDONTLIKEIT. Not something I would expect from a sysop or someone with experience. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 03:10, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please read my oppose vote, where I explain just that. I'm also not sure what you're hoping to achieve by hectoring? Nick-D (talk) 04:44, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – I don't understand the oppose!votes. They sound like WP:IDONTLIKEIT. The image is really good and it doesn't matter if there are a million photos of Parakeets on Commons. EV is specific for this image and it is clearly fulfilled here. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 16:40, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nick-D is an admin so he must he know how to behave here. Let's wait for his explanation. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:57, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support either The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:50, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Sharp (!) image with eye-catching colors. – Sca (talk) 15:53, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Struck this vote to avoid double counting. Armbrust The Homunculus 16:38, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kind of neutral on this one: Well photographed, but having part of his body behind the plant is kind of awkward. It's kind of cute, though, and maybe even interestingly composed. Or maybe awkwardly? I keep changing my mind. Very right-balanced, anyway. Perhaps if you cropped a little on the left? It does make it feel more balanced (see example) Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.8% of all FPs. 22:48, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The very cautiously cropped version looks good, too. Support either one. – Sca (talk) 15:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
